Why? They put Wisky in their rightful place today and gave them a nice whoopin. They beat them in a great game just a couple weeks ago, then lost in the first by 3 points? They played UNC to the wire and the Heels pulled away by sinking the FTs. The only game that Ohio State played horribly in is against Florida AT Florida which they haven't shown their very good from home either.

you're being very biased. i'm not saying that we aren't good or that we are overrated. i'm trying to argue that those outside of the B10 won't give us much love. MSU isn't ranked, they almost beat us. PSU sucks they almost beat us. We got rolled by Fla. Wiscy lost to MSU so many will discount our win against them as Wisky being overrated. see where i'm coming from?

I like the path to the Elite 8. But Ohio State got hosed by getting sent south to San Antonio instead of the Midwest Region in St. Louis.

If Texas AtM makes the Sweet 16, then they scare the shit out of me. That's a huge favor the committee did by sending them to San Antonio for a Final Four run against Memphis and Ohio State.

I cannot say enough how pissed I am that we are going to San Antonio. We did everything to earn the 1 seed in the Midwest and the right to go to St. Louis.

Biased? Maybe, but Ohio State has done everything in their power to be the #1 team in the nation, they haven't lost since losing by three to Wisconsin and have only gotten more impressive as the season has gone on.. Now, if we see the Ohio State team we saw in the Big Ten Tourney, I have a feeling we'll see a lot of VERY happy Ohio State fans on here and throughout Ohio because the Buckeyes played like they couldn't be beat.

AGREED! What did Florida show for that 1 seed? They beat lackluster team after lackluster team in the SEC Tourney....

I don't care about the #1 overall seed. I care about being sent south. It's absurd. Basically what the committee has said is that, as of Jan. 9, 2007, Ohio State had no shot to be the one seed in St. Louis. Bullshit!

True that... I'm still scratching my head on the fact that Ohio State gets the three overall 1-seed after stomping a mudhole in Wisconsin....????

I watched Memphis's last game. I don't know much about basketball X's and O's but it seems to me anyone with such a narrowly defined offense should have trouble when they run into equal (or better) talent.

They were showing how all Mem points come from the drive in the paint or the kick to the 3. Literally there is nothing in between. If Oden stays out of foul trouble I have to think we'll put a dent in their points in the paint average.

Overall, count me as one who is happy with the way we are playing and feels anything short of a Final 4 with this bracket is our own fault.
